As someone who has spent 10k hours in the franchise since 2004 and is unable to play mh on a 3ds. The tears will not be tasty.

Mm, it's a clever marketing term, despite Sony not being the first to pull it off (Valve offered cross-platform purchases across Windows and Mac, Apple did it with iPad and iPhone), nor the best (developers need to make a separate version of each game for each platform).
Even Microsoft's using the term now (personally I prefer Valve's SteamPlay).
This x 100.

Considering this seems to be a list of European announcements (hence the lack of anything brand new) I've not lost all hype just yet. They almost always have something at the start and end for worldwide announcements.

Still hype since even if this leak is real we don't know what the worldwide announcements will be.
Zelda U footage believe.

So, if the leak is true, Europe gets the FE Fates Special Edition, too? That's the one where both game cartridges are in, right?
... I already see myself F5-ing amazon.de like a madman again.

Both games from the separate standard carts, as well as the only way to get the third path on a cart (Birthright, Conquest, and Revelation, which are all full-length campaigns).

If I have it right, the Nintendo Direct is 12 hours and 46 minutes from this post?
I would be happy with a short gameplay video at this point (like the last one which was 13 seconds). I doubt it though

Yep. There's a countdown clock in the OP for future reference.

Pretty rediculous you have to doubt we'll see new footage for a game that was supposed to launch last year considering we've seen fuck all since E3 2014 (anything different that is). I want it for NX so it makes sense to hold back until you announce it as a crossplat but I don't care, I want to see it. You know the only reason Nintendo didn't hype it at E3 2015 was because they didn't want to get fans too excited for something that wasn't going to be exclusive. That's why people were able to guess it was headed to NX the day of the delay announcement a year ago - because it just didn't make sense that it wouldn't be at E3 after being there at the last E3. I still feel the aftermath of the salt that caused me. Because I knew immediately I wouldn't even get to see the game for a full year let alone play it. Here we are a year later, and still n o t h i n g.
It was at The Game Awards 2014. Although all that really showed was horse riding and the size of the map.

... Yeah, the image in my mind of me F5-ing is now pretty clear. Thanks for answering.
Okay I always see people list ridiculously high play times for games but I feel like this one is just absurd. There's less than 10k hours in a year. This also means that you would have spent about five years playing MH as much as someone would spend in a full time job (40 hours a week x 52 weeks = 2160 hours).
I mean I think it's possible but that's just crazy to me.

Rewatching the Zelda game awards 2014 thing is so funny
"And you're sure this game is coming out next year?"
"Positive! The team is hard at work. Hey Miyamoto, how's Star Fox?"
"Great! It'll release before Zelda next year!"

I started the franchise when i was 14. Take from that what you will.
I seriously wish this game would get delayed to NX so it could also be played on home consoles.
edit
Even funnier considering Twilight Princess releases tomorrow, a game we didn't even expected to see at that time.

I'm still not fully convinced by the direct leak, but if its true, I'll be happy, if its not, I likely won't be unhappy neither.

Wasn't it announced the same time as NA?
I've had mine preordered here in Australia for ages.

Can't remember, but amazon.de only has the Birthright and Conquest versions up for preorder, no special edition.
Haven't checked Amazon UK or France though. Still, after amazon.fr f*cking up my Fallout 4 Pip Boy Edition delivery, resulting in me getting the game more than a week too late, i'd prefer to get a chance at amazon.de. ^^
I doubt it's a complete leak though. If it is, then it's going to be the dullest Direct ever.

Special Edition was confirmed for Europe eons ago. We just need a release date.

Horse riding and size of the map is exactly what we got in 2014 though. We did see bullet time archery but that was technically in E3 2014s trailer as well.

If it is true, do you think we'll get SNES games immediately after the show, or just an announcement of the thing?
Well, its announced to cover summer games. So its unlikely distant future.

Hopefully immediately after. The direct is on a Thursday and does the eshop update on Thursdays?

Well, curious to see how StarFox is shaping up.. that's about it.
No Zelda?..

VC releases are usually a "you can download it after the Direct" type of thing. At least for the initial game(s).

Thank you kindly. The image wasn't showing, but refreshing sorted it out.

Guys, the picture is obviously really, but we still have "Main Presentation". We're good.
I'm regularly checking all possible Amazons (.de, .fr, .es, .it), but the SE is nowhere to be found
Yet! I hope this changes in the evening!Well, curious to see how StarFox is shaping up.. that's about it.

Pretty sure the investor reports had Zelda as a fall game along with #FE, this is focusing on games leading up to summer.
Wrong question.
Question is, will it be done so you don't have to pay if you bought the game on Wii U and vice-versa.

Your probably talking in jest, but I'm honestly looking forward to it.
A different take on the Metroid series by the team behind Luigi's Mansion 2 ? Yes, please !

Thats not a question though, we know we'll have to pay for them again.
